Dear darling daughter!
To realize that you know nothing is a great knowledge! To finally experience that nothing is set in stone must be exhilarating!To see open spaces before you and KNOW that you are the captain of your own ship is what makes us self sufficient and in turn that will make us come into or own person. Most of the time as a result of bad experiences... so, to paraphrase the gladiators welcome: For those about to go their own way - I SALUTE YOU! (Fistpump!) Lots of love Mother - 02 August, 2014 07:31

I completely understand you wanting to be home with your child the first year. That year is short and you never get it back. America is a great place, I miss it a lot but not providing maternity leave is awful. I hope if I ever have a second child I can find a way to stay home the first year, though this will probably mean quitting my job. Best of luck to you!

You must have some inside information that no one else has. No one knows for sure who burned it down, but none of the suspects were Christian, And considering it was burnt before 0 AD, I am not sure how you would think it was.

Health care organizations have taken advantage of a glut of retail space and low leasing rates in the aftermath of the recession. Some examples:
• Allina Health opened an Aspen clinic in a former Old Country Buffet in St. Paul's Highland Park neighborhood in May and a former Wickes Furniture in Maple Grove in 2008; currently building a clinic with dermatology and urology services at St. Paul's Bandana Square to complement an existing Sister Kenny Rehabilitation site.
• Emergency Physicians Professional Association (EPPA) plans to open a second Urgency Room in vacant retail space in Eagan in October; moved into former Blockbuster in Woodbury in 2011.
• HealthEast Care System will open a spine clinic in a former Maplewood Gander Mountain later this month; opened a primary clinic at a former Borders bookstore in St. Paul in June and in an empty EQ-life store in 2009.
• HealthPartners opened clinics in vacant retail spaces in Eagan last year and Cottage Grove in 2010.
• Hennepin County Medical Center opened a neighborhood clinic at a former Snyders Drug store in St. Anthony last October, allowing it to retain an on-site pharmacy and drive-up window; operates clinics in Wal-Mart stores in Bloomington and Eden Prairie.
• Mayo Clinic has announced plans to open a $220 million facility in the Mall of America's Phase II expansion, which has yet to break ground; operates a Healthy Living store with wellness assessments and transplant consultation.
• North Memorial recently purchased a retail site off Hwy. 55 in Plymouth for a large clinic; will open a primary care clinic at Victory Village in Blaine.
• Park Nicollet opens a clinic this week in a strip mall in Rogers and another in Champlin Town Center in early 2013; built a clinic in a former Hollywood Video in Lakeville last year.
• Partners in Pediatrics opened in the retail portion of Ellipse, a mixed-use apartment/retail development in St. Louis Park in 2010.
• St. Paul Eye Clinic took over a former Blockbuster at Grand Av. and Lexington Pkwy. in St. Paul.
• Stillwater Medical Group, part of HealthPartners, plans to open a clinic in November in a former Betty's Pies location in Mahtomedi.

Forward Thinking Motherfuckers
The Velvet Underground you never got to hear. Born from the same experimental influences and art-pop sensibilities as VU, but based in 60s counter-cultural Sweden, and rife with name changes galore, Pärson Sound aka International Harvester aka Harvester aka Träd, Gräs och Stenar (Trees, Grass and Stones) brought the heavy, heavy drone sound as far back as 1967 and are still active today.

Mom always liked you best.
The Smothers Brothers are a folk-singing comedy duo whose television show, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour featured music, comedy, and political satire. CBS abruptly canceled the show in 1969 due to continued arguments about censorship. [more inside]
Guitar playing motivation
This might lead you to learn to play guitar, to write poems, to sing, or just to watch and listen more intently. Kelly joe Phelps, from washington state, is one of the most beautiful musicians I've ever seen. He's got a great way to play traditionals and his originals are mesmerizing.
Watching Watchtower
Aside from the usual crap, YouTube has a great selection of
one the most
song of all time: All Along the Watchtower. Classics like Hendrix (live and studio), Neil Young (at DailyMotion
with better sound) and U2--and some great contemporary versions like Keziah
Jones' blazingly-fast version,
Bradley Fish's 12-instrument (including Chinese Zither) version, Michael Hedges'
reason-to-be-excited cover, and
even a quite good version of DMB's much-maligned cover. What doesn't really rank: Dylan's original.
You want the Old Skool? You can't handle the Old Skool! You don't even have a clue what the Old Skool is! *chops down door* Here's ...Johnny!!!
Here is Uncle John Scruggs singing and playing Little Log Cabin Round the Lane in RealAudio Dial Up and DSL format. The dancing is great and I do like the walk-on kitten part, myself.
That's from the Center For Southern African-American Music Video Link Page. Their audio link page is a wonder, too with individual artists galore. But, for the real deal, check out the Various Artist compilation album pages. Those may be 20 second of so mp3 clips but, still, those Yazoo, Document and Folkways albums are the bomb and there you get a taste of what they offer. And anywhere you can hear, for example, even a few bars of Blind Alfred Reed's How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live ? or Estil C. Ball and Lacey Richardson's Trials, Troubles, Tribulations rules in my world.

Professional northerners
Northerners aren't overly represented on t'internet. Our kid reckoned the late Bernard Manning would make a comeback using MySpace, but that didn't 'appen. But hold onto t'whippet because The Lancashire Hotpots are filling the entertainment vacuum (I recommend Chippy Tea from the playlist). 30% Peter Kay, 30% George Formby, 39% Mike Harding (circa his Rochdale Cowboy phase), and 1% the UOGB, they're postmodern northerners for the 21st century (comparisons to Chas & Dave are inevitable and will be ignored).

Faking It: the quest for authenticity in popular music
"We consider the 'primitive' music of blues singers such as Leadbelly to be more authentic than that of the Monkees. But all pop musicians are fakes . . . Hugh Barker and Yuval Taylor . . . have turned out their personal record collections to produce a persuasive defence of inauthenticity as the defining characteristic of great popular music[.]" (via)
Nyahh. It sounds better than it reads.
Joe Heaney told lots of stories, and sang pretty well too. His style of music, Sean-Nós out of Connemara is rare indeed nowadays, but there are songs like Úna Bhán that stand on their own poetic merit, and others like Cunnla that are altogether less stodgy than one might think. If it's too Irish for you, how about meeting the language halfway?
In a city renowned for phoney affection and rabid ambition, he exudes only diffidence, humour and generosity.
"If you had Bruce playing with you," Dylan wrote, in his 2004 autobiography, Chronicles, "that's all you would need to do just about anything."Bruce Langhorne has quite the discography. And a hot sauce, to boot. And he's led quite the life. Here is Richie Unterberger's interview with Langhorne in Parts One and Two. And here he talks with Unterberger about working with Mimi and Richard Fariña.
On a personal note, I will add that his hot sauce is hot indeed. Will buy it again.

All old things become new again. Traditional American music, such as Del McCoury and Doc Watson being explored and reinvented by new artists. Gillian Welch and Old Crow Medicine Show , Chatham County Line- Route 23 , and The Be Good Tanyas - The Littlest Birds. Just to name a few. [all youtube]

Ah, Misirlou, magical, exotic beauty
From Rebetika to Surf Rock: Misirlou is a melody that has spanned genres, from Greek, Turkish and Jewish folk songs to the classic Dick Dale version on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack to the Black-Eyed Peas, to the obligatory Greek folk version/Pump It mash-up.
The man can definitely eef.
Before you do anything else, just listen to this. That's eefing, a 100-plus-year-old vocal technique from rural Tennessee that's, well, the original hillbilly beatboxing. The undisputed master of the art was Jimmie Riddle. His unique skill landed him recording* and TV (youtube) work. Want more weird sounds from the deep south? Try Hollerin & Whoopin and Ringing the Pig. *[warning: on the "Little Eefin Annie" page, avoid the "click here to hear Rolf Harris Eeefin'!" link: it's a pesky popup.

Harry Everett Smith
Harry Everett Smith was a, "20th-century Renaissance man, working as an abstract film-maker, painter, musicologist, anthropologist, theoretician, self-mythologizer and connoisseur of arcana". His Anthology of American Folk Music was hugely influential on American music, while his alchemical, synæsthetic films were to have a similar impact on experimental film and animation. Enjoy his mesmerising and astonishing "Early Abstractions" on Youtube [part 1 or 4], hear Harry lecture, or listen to some tracks from The Anthology.

folkstreams.net - A National Preserve of Documentary Films about American Roots Cultures
Folkstreams.net has two goals. One is to build a national preserve of hard-to-find documentary films about American folk or roots cultures. The other is to give them renewed life by streaming them on the internet. The films were produced by independent filmmakers in a golden age that began in the 1960s and was made possible by the development first of portable cameras and then capacity for synch sound. Their films focus on the culture, struggles, and arts of unnoticed Americans from many different regions and communities. The filmmakers were driven more by sheer engagement with the people and their traditions than by commercial hopes. Their films have unusual subjects, odd lengths, and talkers who do not speak "broadcast English." Although they won prizes at film festivals, were used in college classes, and occasionally were shown on PBS, they found few outlets in venues like theaters, video shops or commercial television. But they have permanent value...folkstreams.net Currently streaming are the films The Land Where the Blues Began , Cajun Country , Jazz Parades: Feet Don't Fail Me Now , Talking Feet: Solo Southern Dance: Buck, Flatfoot and Tap , Ray Lum: Mule Trader and Pizza Pizza Daddy-O , among many others.
John Smith Hurt: An Interview and the Mississippi John Hurt Blues Foundation
Here is the Mississippi John Hurt Blues Foundation, the website, which is the creation of one Frank Delaney of Spokane. There's a great deal of guitar related material and a page of mp3's by fans, which includes several interesting originals by one Fred Bolden, a grand nephew. I always knew he had a son who played guitar and wondered why no one had ever tried to record him. Now there is a grand nephew playing, if nowhere near as sublimely as his great uncle, in roughly the same style.
Here is an interview of John Hurt from 1963, courtesy of Stefan Grossman's guitar video empire. It is a real delight.
Consider this a follow up to this post. Not all of the links there are good. The Mississippi John Hurt Guitar Tab Book, for instance, is now available only in PDF format but well worth the download. And here is an illustrated discography of John Hurt by another Stefan, Stefan Wirz, a subject of yet another post back in the day.

We're Norfolk and good
The world of folk music is often a rather dour place, as folkies try hard to fully express the miseries of a life pre-myspace. In the 1980s, however, the Kipper Family, of St-Just-near-Trunch, Norfolk, bucked this trend. With such classics as "Arrest These Merry Gentlemen", "Wild Mounting Time" and "We're Norfolk and Good", Sid and Henry Kipper managed to cheer up many a maudlin English folk club. Although Henry was retired, Sid Kipper still performs solo and has recently started doing podcasts for Channel4 (reg req to download).

Then, for more,
Nugrape Records has an mp3 page. The standout there, at least for me, is Gus Cannon's Poor Boy Long Ways From Home. As for their namesake, the Nugrape Twins, well, the Archive has the mp3 of I've Got Your Ice Cold Nugrape. And don't let me omit mentioning PublicDomain4U. They have Mississippi John Hurt's Frankie, for one. Tyrone's Record and Phonograph Links will lead you to more 78 RPM goodness. And don't forget the inestimable and erudite vacapinta first directed us to Dismuke's Virtual Talking Machine.
"The joy of eternal bards/ the sound of the kantele"
The kantele is the national instrument of Finland, strongly associated with traditional Finnish folk music. A psaltery-like string instrument of somewhat obscure origin, it prominently figures in the Kalevala. Despite this association with the past, the kantele is very much a living instrument- it was used in the soundtrack to "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" for its "pure, chilly sound", and electric kanteles have been made.

Sweet Nyckelharpa + Arch Guitar = Bardou.
Bardou (note: sound on intro) is a Belgian band founded by Jim Kline and Mariusz Radwanski combining medieval, baroque, folk, celtic and sea chanty in a beautiful sound. While strolling down the Cours Mirabeau in Aix-en-Provence this afternoon, I chanced upon these two musicians playing dulcet tones in a duet. As I drew closer, I saw the instruments were nothing I'd encountered before: a nyckelharpa and an arch guitar. The sound was quite appealing (.mpg video).

The Vera Hall Project and Songs by Vera Hall
Vera Hall was a black woman born near Livingston, Alabama at the turn of the century. She grew up in a supportive family and community, but in difficult, poor rural living conditions. At a young age, Hall became a respected and devout member of the church, and remained so for the rest of her years. But after leaving home, she also fell in with more worldly crowd, for whom blues, craps, and alcohol were the entertainments of choice. The tension between these two spheres-- that of spirituals and the church, on one hand, and that of blues and the juke-joint, on the other-- is a theme that recurred throughout her life and infused her music. She drew upon both perspectives to cope with and overcome her life's perennial difficulties; sadly, it was dotted with tragedy: she lost both parents, a sister, a husband, a daughter, and two grandchildren-- all before she herself passed away in 1964 at the age of 58.

I tend to think the album is a bit overrated, but 'Chicago' is gorgeous.
Illin'-Noise! is the new remix of Sufjan Stevens' album Illinois by mc DJ; a torrent is available, as is cover art. It's not quite like Hippocamp Ruins Pet Sounds (previously on Mefi) -- it's not nearly as noisy, and not quite as good, although it's still worth checking out, particularly "Chi-Town" (from "Chicago"), "Zombies" (from "They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From the Dead!! Ahhhh!") and "Jacksontown" (from "Jacksonville"). [prev.]

Searching for the Stargazer
Scottish born singer Shelagh McDonald was part of the late 1960s British folk scene and recorded two excellent albums in the early 70s with production not unlike that of Nick Drake. With favorable comparisons to Sandy Denny, Joni Mitchell and Judee Sill, larger success seemed right around the corner for this talented young woman. Then she vanished.
It's still unknown whether she went back to Scotland or elsewhere entirely, but now her musical catalogue is back in print, prompting renewed interest. Perhaps she'll come forward at last to receive the royalties she's owed or, if we're lucky, step onto the stage once again.

What's the matter with wacky nutjob artists in Kansas?
J.P. Dinsmoor fought in the Civil War and had two children in his eighties. He was a die-hard Populist, the first resident of Lucas, KA to go electric and when he died he was mummified. Somewhere in there he had time to build The Garden of Eden, discussed in "What's the Matter With Kansas" and contrasted with this wingnut.
And they're both called Populists.

The Moray Eels Eat The Holy Modal Rounders and Charlie Poole, to boot
We kept changing the name. First it was the Total Quintessence Stomach Pumpers. Then the Temporal Worth High Steppers. Then The Motherfucker Creek Babyrapers. That was just a joke name. He was Rinky-Dink Steve the Tin Horn and I was Fast Lightning Cumquat. He was Teddy Boy Forever and I was Wild Blue Yonder. It kept changing names. Then it was the Total Modal Rounders. Then when we were stoned on pot and someone else, Steve Close maybe, said Holy Modal Rounders by mistake. We kept putting out different names and wait until someone starts calling us that then. When we got to Holy Modal Rounders, everyone decided by accumulation that we were the Holy Modal Rounders. That's the practical way to get named.
The Story Of The Holy Modal Rounders. In 1965, they used the psychedelic in a lyric and channeled Charlie Poole. From 1999, Green Man reviews their Too Much Fun!--& Ink 19's take as well. From No Depression comes Bohemian Rhapsody and from Richie Unterberger here's an interview with Peter Stampfel and the liner notes he wrote for the CD re-issue of cult classic The Moray Eels Eat The Holy Modal Rounders. In a related bonus, here you can find Charlie Poole singing Moving Day, a great song which I first heard by the Rounders.

Snuggled On Your Shoulder--and lyrically, by way, in part, of Junichi Saga's Confessions Of A Yakuza, which was not a crime novel, as StupidSexyFlanders once surmised, but an outright As told to memoir, which makes it four or five degrees from Yakuza to Dr. Saga to translator to Dylan to Plagiarism in Dylan, or a Cultural Collage?

The Mystery of Danny Boy - Most everyone has heard the song "Danny Boy", and while the lyrics have a traceable history, where did the tune originate? It is known as "Londonderry Air" in some folks circles, and a lovely band arrangement was done with the title "Irish Tune from County Derry". Regardless of the facts, it is still a poignant tune covered by many.

Penélope as the lingerie-clad Clara in the film Nine, 2009
"Lingerie holds a deep ATTRACTION. I think it is the hidden element: you are wearing something SPECIAL, but it is a SECRET"
house, so lingerie was not at all taboo. The thing was, we didn't have a lot of money. We had the money we needed to survive and to live, but nothing extra, and my parents worked very hard to raise us. That made that lace body even more special – it was the first time I had asked for something like this.
It is hard to put into words what it is about lingerie that holds such a deep attraction. But I think it is the hidden element. You are wearing something special, but you don't show it to anybody. It is a secret, and that is something we can all relate to. And probably why most lingerie is sold directly to women, except on Valentine's Day.
I associate lingerie with the movies. Sophia Loren is my ultimate icon: when she wears a piece of lingerie in her films with Marcello Mastroianni, it is as though she is wearing the most amazing gown. But beautiful lingerie is not just for the red carpet – now it is also for every day of the week. I can wear it under a T-shirt with ripped jeans and still
feel special.
My relationship with lingerie has evolved over the years. I've come to value comfort, more so since I had children. I want something that is sexy, but won't make me miserable and uncomfortable all day. I need something I can live in. It is like shoes: when you are 18, you don't care about your feet bleeding when you are walking to a disco. When you are older, you can have the most amazing shoes but, if they hurt, you'll wear them once.
I do like the idea of lingerie as outerwear, which is a great look for this fall: I do it all the time. One of my favorite shapes is the corset. It is surprisingly versatile. I like how you can wear one with a long black skirt or tailored pants. Actually, during my first pregnancy, my closet consisted of camisoles and baby dolls worn with jeans.
My sister, Mónica, and I love working together. This is our biggest project, so it is really personal. The pieces are beautiful but not super-expensive, so we can reach more people. Who says women can't always have fun?"

Enforcement Co-Director George Canellos to Leave SEC
Washington D.C., Jan. 3, 2014 —
The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that George S. Canellos, co-director of its Enforcement Division, will leave the agency later this month after four-and-a-half years of service in senior leadership positions.
Mr. Canellos has played a key role in numerous structural and enforcement policy changes and oversaw significant investigations and enforcement actions related to the credit crisis and insider trading. He helped lead the agency's nationwide enforcement efforts during two of its most productive years in 2012 and 2013 while serving as deputy director and co-director of the Enforcement Division. Mr. Canellos came to the SEC in July 2009 as director of the New York Regional Office.
"George filled an incredibly important leadership role as head of the New York office and later in the top posts of the Enforcement Division," said SEC Chair Mary Jo White. "He helped to improve coordination between the enforcement and exam programs, streamline procedures to expedite investigations, and better integrate our investigative and trial functions. Every day, he brought to work an intense enthusiasm for our mission, extraordinary intellect and experience, and a total commitment to fairness and the public interest."
Mr. Canellos said, "The unparalleled skill, judgment, and sense of fairness that the SEC staff brings to every examination, investigation, and case is the source of the Commission's greatest strength. I have been honored and inspired by the opportunity to work with them and will be forever grateful for and proud of the public service we have performed as a team."
A strong proponent of drawing expertise from the securities industry, Mr. Canellos led efforts to recruit numerous industry experts and academics to the New York office, including specialists in structured products, derivatives, and applied mathematics.
Enforcement actions supervised by Mr. Canellos included:
Actions against Raj Rajaratnam and more than 30 others associated with New York-based hedge fund advisory firm Galleon Management LP for widespread and repeated insider trading in the securities of 15 companies generating illicit profits totaling more than $96 million.
The action against former McKinsey & Co. global head Rajat Gupta for illegally tipping Rajaratnam while serving on the boards of Goldman Sachs and Procter & Gamble.
Actions against hedge fund managers associated with S.A.C. Capital for perpetrating the most profitable insider trading scheme in history and against S.A.C. Capital's founder Steven A. Cohen for allegedly failing reasonably to supervise those fund managers.
The first-ever action against the operator of a "dark pool" trading platform: Pipeline Trading Systems LLC and two of its top executives for failing to disclose to customers that the vast majority of orders were filled by a trading operation affiliated with Pipeline.
The $150 million settlement by Bank of America for failing to properly disclose employee bonuses and financial losses at Merrill Lynch before shareholders approved the merger of the companies in December 2008.
Actions against J.P. Morgan Securities, Credit Suisse Securities (USA), RBS Securities, and Bank of America for misleading investors in offerings of residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), thus far resulting in almost $570 million in sanctions.
Actions for fraud and breach of fiduciary duty against numerous financial institutions and senior executives who participated in the structuring and sales of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), including CDO arrangers Merrill Lynch and UBS Securities and CDO collateral managers ICP Asset Management, NIR Capital Management, and Harding Advisory LLC.
Actions for fraud against two JPMorgan traders for concealing hundreds of millions of dollars of losses on the so-called "London Whale" derivatives trades and against JPMorgan Chase for misstating its financial results and lacking effective internal controls to detect and prevent its traders from fraudulently overvaluing investments.
After being named director of the New York office, Mr. Canellos was instrumental in its response to the revelation of the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme, overseeing investigations and fraud charges against 22 individuals and entities. Mr. Canellos led the implementation of new approaches to examinations of investment advisory firms while more closely integrating the teams responsible for examinations of broker-dealers and investment managers. Mr. Canellos formed a joint working group of examination and enforcement staff dedicated to investigating participants in the penny stock industry.
Mr. Canellos continued to lead change in these areas as deputy director, acting director, and co-director of the Enforcement Division in 2012 and 2013 while serving under SEC chairmen Mary Schapiro, Elisse Walter, and Mary Jo White. Mr. Canellos helped develop and implement the restructuring of many aspects of the agency's enforcement program under then-enforcement director Robert Khuzami. In particular, Mr. Canellos helped create the cooperation program, streamline internal processes, select leaders of newly created specialized units, and reorganize staff into core and specialized units.
More recently, Mr. Canellos and Enforcement Co-Director Andrew Ceresney modified the SEC's settlement policy, requiring defendants in some classes of cases to make admissions of wrongdoing. They also launched the Financial Reporting and Audit Task Force, Microcap Fraud Task Force, and Center for Risk and Quantitative Analytics to ferret out risks and threats to investors. Mr. Canellos has encouraged strong and effective collaboration with law enforcement partners, including criminal authorities as well as other federal and state authorities. He has served as co-chair of the RMBS Working Group of the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force.
Prior to working at the SEC, Mr. Canellos served for six-and-a-half years as a litigation partner in the law firm of Milbank Tweed Hadley & McCloy. For nine years, he was a federal prosecutor with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, serving as chief of its major crimes unit, deputy chief of criminal appeals, and senior trial counsel for its securities and commodities fraud task force. Mr. Canellos received his J.D. from Columbia University School of Law and graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College.
Following the departure of Mr. Canellos, who has not yet made future career plans, Andrew Ceresney will continue to serve as director of the SEC's Enforcement Division.

Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And Elihu made answer and said, | 1 Then Elihu said: |
2 Give ear, you wise, to my words; and you who have knowledge, give attention to me; | 2 "Hear my words, you wise men; listen to me, you men of learning. |
3 For words are tested by the ear, as food is tasted by the mouth. | 3 For the ear tests words as the tongue tastes food. |
4 Let us make the decision for ourselves as to what is right; let us have the knowledge among ourselves of what is good. | 4 Let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good. |
5 For Job has said, I am upright, and it is God who has taken away my right; | 5 "Job says, 'I am innocent, but God denies me justice. |
6 Though I am right, still I am in pain; my wound may not be made well, though I have done no wrong. | 6 Although I am right, I am considered a liar; although I am guiltless, his arrow inflicts an incurable wound.' |
7 What man is like Job, a man who freely makes sport of God, | 7 What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water? |
8 And goes in the company of evil-doers, walking in the way of sinners? | 8 He keeps company with evildoers; he associates with wicked men. |
9 For he has said, It is no profit to a man to take delight in God. | 9 For he says, 'It profits a man nothing when he tries to please God.' |
10 Now then, you wise, take note; you men of knowledge, give ear to me. Let it be far from God to do evil, and from the Ruler of all to do wrong. | 10 "So listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong. |
11 For he gives to every man the reward of his work, and sees that he gets the fruit of his ways. | 11 He repays a man for what he has done; he brings upon him what his conduct deserves. |
12 Truly, God does not do evil, and the Ruler of all is not a false judge. | 12 It is unthinkable that God would do wrong, that the Almighty would pervert justice. |
13 Who put the earth into his care, or made him responsible for the world? | 13 Who appointed him over the earth? Who put him in charge of the whole world? |
14 If he made his spirit come back to him, taking his breath into himself again, | 14 If it were his intention and he withdrew his spirit and breath, |
15 All flesh would come to an end together, and man would go back to the dust. | 15 all mankind would perish together and man would return to the dust. |
16 If you are wise, take note of this; give ear to the voice of my words. | 16 "If you have understanding, hear this; listen to what I say. |
17 How may a hater of right be a ruler? and will you say that the upright Ruler of all is evil? | 17 Can he who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One? |
18 He who says to a king, You are an evil-doer; and to rulers, You are sinners; | 18 Is he not the One who says to kings, 'You are worthless,' and to nobles, 'You are wicked,' |
19 Who has no respect for rulers, and who gives no more attention to those who have wealth than to the poor, for they are all the work of his hands. | 19 who shows no partiality to princes and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of his hands? |
20 Suddenly they come to an end, even in the middle of the night: the blow comes on the men of wealth, and they are gone, and the strong are taken away without the hand of man. | 20 They die in an instant, in the middle of the night; the people are shaken and they pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand. |
21 For his eyes are on the ways of a man, and he sees all his steps. | 21 "His eyes are on the ways of men; he sees their every step. |
22 There is no dark place, and no thick cloud, in which the workers of evil may take cover. | 22 There is no dark place, no deep shadow, where evildoers can hide. |
23 For he does not give man a fixed time to come before him to be judged. | 23 God has no need to examine men further, that they should come before him for judgment. |
24 He sends the strong to destruction without searching out their cause, and puts others in their place. | 24 Without inquiry he shatters the mighty and sets up others in their place. |
25 For he has knowledge of their works, overturning them in the night, so that they are crushed. | 25 Because he takes note of their deeds, he overthrows them in the night and they are crushed. |
26 The evil-doers are broken by his wrath, he puts his hand on them with force before the eyes of all onlookers. | 26 He punishes them for their wickedness where everyone can see them, |
27 Because they did not go after him, and took no note of his ways, | 27 because they turned from following him and had no regard for any of his ways. |
28 So that the cry of the poor might come up to him, and the prayer of those in need come to his ears. | 28 They caused the cry of the poor to come before him, so that he heard the cry of the needy. |
29 ... | 29 But if he remains silent, who can condemn him? If he hides his face, who can see him? Yet he is over man and nation alike, |
30 ... | 30 to keep a godless man from ruling, from laying snares for the people. |
31 ... | 31 "Suppose a man says to God, 'I am guilty but will offend no more. |
32 ... | 32 Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do so again.' |
33 ... | 33 Should God then reward you on your terms, when you refuse to repent? You must decide, not I; so tell me what you know. |
34 Men of knowledge, and all wise men, hearing me, will say, | 34 "Men of understanding declare, wise men who hear me say to me, |
35 Job's words do not come from knowledge; they are not the fruit of wisdom. | 35 'Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.' |
36 May Job be tested to the end, because his answers have been like those of evil men. | 36 Oh, that Job might be tested to the utmost for answering like a wicked man! |
37 For in addition to his sin, he is uncontrolled in heart; before our eyes he makes sport of God, increasing his words against him. | 37 To his sin he adds rebellion; scornfully he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God." |

This year, UNCG launches the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Interior Architecture, offering students a venue for advanced investigations of the interior environment in close collaboration with faculty mentors. Students pursuing an MFA in Interior Architecture develop their own intellectual interests in design while preparing for careers in teaching, research, or specialized practice. With a long-standing history of community-engaged efforts and environmentally conscious design, the Department of Interior Architecture supports a broad range of student specializations based on current faculty's area of expertise. This post-professional degree is geared toward students with undergraduate degrees in interior architecture, interior design, or a related field. Students will take eight to nine related content courses, a two-course research methods sequence, at least three graduate-level design studios, and develop a thesis generated from their selected area of focus. For a list of IARc thesis titles, click here.
Special attention may be directed toward design for special populations, digital design and simulation, community formation and transformation, architectural conservation, design graphics, design research in professional practice, ecological design, environmental ethics and socio-spatial justice, evidence-based design, feminist design theory and pedagogy, furniture design and production, historic preservation theory and practice, industrial manufacturing and digital fabrication, interdisciplinary study, interior product design, lighting design, material culture, place theory, and sustainability. For curricular sequence based on current IAR faculty's area of research, please click here.
Admission to the graduate program is contingent upon acceptance by both the Department of Interior Architecture and The Graduate School. The UNCG Graduate School requires academic transcripts, GRE scores, and letters of recommendation from all applicants. Applicants should have a minimum 3.0 grade point average in undergraduate work. Acceptable GRE scores are 152 for verbal, 152 for quantitative if taken after August 1, 2011 or test scores in the 500 range on both the verbal and quantitative sections. A score of 4.0 or better on the analytical writing section is an acceptable prerequisite for consideration. In addition to the application materials required by The Graduate School, applicants must submit the following items directly to the department:
Selected candidates would be invited for a personal interview face-to-face or online after all the documents for admission are submitted. An undergraduate professional degree in interior architecture or interior design is preferred. Candidates who do not hold a professional undergraduate degree in interior architecture or interior design but are graduates of related environmental design programs, such as architecture or industrial design, can be admitted but may be required to complete specific undergraduate prerequisite courses in interior architecture as part of their graduate studies. Such decisions will be based upon individual evaluation of credentials, portfolio, and design experience. Individuals who do not have a design-related undergraduate degree or a significant amount of design-related undergraduate coursework are strongly encouraged to apply for the department's professional degree program — the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Architecture.
Enrollment in the program is limited and priority is given to applications received before April 1. The department has a small number of competitive graduate assistantships and scholarships for incoming graduate students. Those applying for the Post-Baccalaureate certificate are strongly encouraged to apply no later than April 1. The department offers a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Historic Preservation for professionals who already have a job in the field (and are seeking further training) or people who already have a Master's and want to gain additional skills.
To apply online, visit the Graduate School web site. You can also request information by filling out the form on this link. You will be sent a packet that includes information on UNCG, housing options, and financial aid.

Some foster homes to be inspected following child's death
Special to The Hays Daily News
Special to The Hays Daily News
TOPEKA - Kansas Department for Children and Families Secretary Phyllis Gilmore said she is deeply saddened and outraged by the death of a 10-month old child who was in foster care.
Gilmore has launched a thorough investigation into how the baby was placed in harm's way. According to Wichita Police, the baby died after being left in a hot vehicle for more than two hours.
"I am absolutely devastated by this child's death that should have been prevented," Gilmore said. "DCF is working closely with local law enforcement and the Sedgwick County District Attorney to ensure that justice is served and that the integrity of the investigation is not compromised by the release of confidential information."
In the meantime, DCF's current foster care contractors, KVC and St. Francis, have been instructed to inspect all foster homes associated with TFI. TFI is a former contractor, but its contract was not renewed in July 2013. It still is allowed to sponsor KDHE-licensed foster homes. All future placements with TFI have been suspended, pending the outcome of DCF's investigation into this matter.
"I want to assure Kansans that we are doing everything we can to uphold our agency's mission to protect children. Children in need of care deserve safe, loving homes," Gilmore said.

i made this signature for my friend, and it had to be with the monk from the game diablo 3. my problem here is the Lq render i had to use. i sharpened it and i think it kinda looks weird. Opinions?
seriously dude, give some helpful input with some though behind it or just don't comment! personally i think it looks superb
@legion: Do you render yourself? Coz I just gave rendering a try and I suck at it xD The effects around the render look cool and seem to be in flow with the render. But they really have no environment to compliment them. I think there needs to be more of that foggy/cloudy thingy in the background. The background doesn't really go with the effects either. So as I said there really is not much environment. And his eyes look pretty weird. Personally I think the effects and render blending looks great. You just need more of those effects and fix the background. And yeah, the render is actually making the signature a bit lq. Thats a problem you have to face when you are working on requests
i'm glad you like the effects, i actually made them myself. do you want me to make the whole left sidefoggy/cloudy or just a little more? i will try fix his eyes.
Actually I'm just saying that the foggy effect and the background are 2 completely different styles. My point is that it would be awesome if you had built the whole signature based on the foggy effects.
actually i do. and if it's LQ THEN WHAT IS IT GOING TO END UP?!?!? answer is...LQ! @ VT jeez. *rages off somewhere*
Cool thing just blur some more and it will look more awesome and coolish and delete or make the blue eyes brighter it'll make m more pop out since the focal is the render good luck

Has anybody ever grown a bulbil from a Bulbifer leaf before?
I won an ebay auction, the seller not only sent an extra tuber but also a bulbil about as big around as a dime. The tubers are dormant now. Should I treat the bulbil as a dormant tuber that needs to be stored in soil, or treat it as a tuber that should be stored dry out of soil? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by bluebonsai101 6a PA (My Page) on Sun, Sep 16, 07 at 9:31
Yep, just as easy as a normal tuber.....store it in peat or something as these tiny guys are more likely to dessicate :o) Dan |
- Posted by araceaelover 6b Philadelphia Pa. (email@example.com) on Sun, Sep 16, 07 at 14:07
Thanks Dan! I have it planted in soil now, but it is at the surface, and I can see the top of the bulbil at soil level. I think I will leave it this way and just check the soil moisture every now and then. |

This is my first eyeliner (I got it in black) and it works pretty good. I like the brush too, rather than an angled brush and the consistency is quite creamy but easy to work with. It's pretty expensive where I'm from, 11 euros, so I won't be repurchasing just cause MACs Fluidline's 17 euro, and I'd lke to try that.. I wore this eyeliner in the shower, and it did smudge little and had faded but still, I think would be wearable :) Packagings fine, nothing fancy :) I'd recommend you get this if youre new to makeup like me and want a little kit to practice with before buying Bobbi Brown or MAC :D X

UPDATE 23oct2011: I just bought the LE gel liner in saphire and dare I say, I love this line even more!! I wore it outside yesterday evening to a date with my boyfriend, and it looked amazing! He complimented me on my eyes and I was so glad I bought this liner on a impulse! :) The color is a dark navy with royal blue (my favorite color to wear) shimmer shot through it. It looks positively stunning and the texture is creamier than the forest green one I have. Again, I absolutely love the brush and I'm already eyeing the brown one!!
Original review: I love the brush!!! I want to buy all the liners in the collection, just so that I can get back ups of those little handy liner brushes! It's firm and pointy, doesn't shed at all, and feels very comfortable in my hand! It can easily double as a smudge brush for the gel liner and it is absolutely worth it! So onto the liner: I have it in forest green. The color is a dark green with cold-toned green microshimmers, but the green tint still shows through (even if I'm only tightlining). I would've liked it better if it was even darker, but I manage. The consistency, as everyone pointed out, isn't the best. I prefer the consistency of MAC fluidline much better. I also need more product on the brush compared to MAC and BB, but I can live with that since I don't want my product to dry out before I can finish it. All in all, this is the best drugstore gel liner I've used, it is perfect for MU starters and I will repurchase! :)
I bought this based on Lisa Eldridge's recommendation on YouTube. The brush is remarkably well made and comfortable to use, unlike those stiff, slanted and uber thin brushes. I can never use those. Too awkward for doing my left eye with my dominant right hand. The brush on this is shaped with slightly round tip, not too stiff yet not floppy. It's a joy to use! The gel liner itself is also superb... it's completely budge proof (I'm really happy about that because my previous eye liner pencil transfers to my Shu Uemura curler every time I curl my lashes) and stays there until I remove it as the end of the day. The only thing is that I can't line under my eyes very well with this, it seems to give off too harsh a line so I revert back to good ole eye liner pencil for that. Very happy with this purchase! :)

Black eyeliner is my favorite make up product ever and I seem to have a bit of obsession with it- own about 20 different black eyeliners, liquid, kohl, gel, you name it, i have it or tried it.I had gel eyeliners before, so I was keen to try this one. The color is lovely, it stays on for hours
however if you don't remove it with a good remover, you may end up with panda eyes. The only downside is the brush that comes with it; as another reviewer said, clean it every day (max two applications as I found out), as it dries out and can scratch your eyes.(Cotton wool pads, soap and hot water will do the trick).Or use a better quality brush. Overally, it's affordable, easy to apply and stays on for ages.
I hate this product. I truly dislike this product. I wanted to like it, don't get me wrong it's cheap and not a lot of drugstore brands i knew of made Gel Liners at the time so I was excited.
The pigments in this jar is AWFUL, i mean awful. I try to apply it on my eyes but after layering it on and one I feel like it just doesn't work. It's way to dry! I had a purple one, the eggplant i believe because I wanted to try for a purple color and didn't feel like buying it from Mac's Fluid line collection.
Then I left my make up in the car at a hotel and borrowed my friend's eyeliner, awful awful awful. It didn't even stick to my eyes. I was so mad at myself for forgetting my bag but I kept it in and thanked her. She likes this product, i hate it.
This was my first attempt at using a gel liner, and man, this stuff is great. It is very very black and if you have a steady hand, you can create a perfectly straight black line every time. The brush it came with is functional, though a better brush might make it work even better. It is absolutely necessary to clean your brushes every day when using this gel liner - otherwise your brush will get very hard and scrape your eyelids. Not going to buy again until I try the Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner. If they are comparable, I'll stick with the Maybeline...but with a new brush.
(Review is for the blackest black shade). I am a liquid liner rookie and this makes it easy to do. I tried a wing with this last night and it was a snap.
The gel is a great consistency. As far as liquid liners, I have used a cake liner and a liner marker and I far prefer this to both. Although the liner marker is easier to control, this ultimately has a better look. It's smooth and dense and pigmented.
This eyeliner lasted well into the night and didn't budge.
The brush it comes with is actually pretty decent and effective too.
When I picked this up (based on reviews here) and it rang up for $10, I was like, for Maybelline? Really?! But this is worth it.

My very first gel eyeliner, I must say that I was initially impressed with the product. The application was smooth and the colour did not smudge too much. However, it recently began to harden and the colour doesn't come onto my eyelid as smooth as it used to be. I have half the amount of product left.
That being said, I do not use the gel liner on a daily basis (I alternate between liquid and gel) so perhaps the fact that the gel eyeliner has been with me for almost a year and a half is probably the reason why it hardened at half pot.
I recommend this to people who are on a slightly tighter budget and will use the gel eyeliner on a daily basis. I will not buy it again mainly because it is my first gel eyeliner and I would like to try other brands before coming to a genuine conclusion on this product's rebuy-ablity.
By the way, i LOVE the complimentary brush.
I had such high hopes for this product, and unfortunately it didnt meet my standards, but it wasnt a complete fail.
It promises to be smudge sproof....yeahhh...no. When I first bought it (in blackest black), I loved the packaging, looked great, and the colour was nice, creamy, rich and pigmented, but it faded and smudge quite a bit and I don't have oily lids at all. I tried with primer, and it lasted a bit longer, but honestly, I can already barely wake up every morning for school, so I cant afford to spend alol my time on makeup.
The brush it comes with is okay, but it isnt really precise..I prefer my bobbi brown eyeliner brush. I paid $12+tax for this at shoppers, and I seriously dont think it was worth it. If it was cheaper, I may have bought more just because Im curious of whether or not the other colours smudge this much, but I find I still prefer the physician's formula one and the loreal one (:

Tips for organizations in the wake of the biggest corporate hack in history
Consider the main learning points from this event and count yourself lucky that you can learn at Sony Picture Entertainment's massive expense.
How organizations can prepare for 2015 data privacy legislation
Many states have laws today that require corporations and government agencies to notify consumers in the event of a breach - but it is not enough.
Don't dismiss internal data breaches as minor - they aren't!
The wolf isn't at your door, it's inside. Ignorance is definitely not bliss. Just ask any of the regulatory agencies.
Could the Sony breach have been prevented?
While most agree that corporate security needs to improve, a question still remains: Even with best practices in place, could the Sony debacle have been prevented?
Who is responsible for software safety? Nobody is no longer an option
It is now up to banks to self-regulate themselves or continue to deal with the pressing questions of concerned officials like Benjamin Lawsky.
Building a proactive versus solutions-based security plan
2014 taught us that organizations cannot rest on their laurels. Security team needs to be in a state of hypervigilance. This is precisely why developing and implementing a proactive security plan will be a critical component of 2015 IT priorities.
The problem with Big Data
Big Data just keeps on getting bigger and bigger. It's almost like Moore's Law. And...it has a domino effect.
The 10 POS malware families this holiday season
This holiday shopping season, many retailers have two goals in mind - make record-breaking sales and don't get breached.
Securing the enterprise with the five W's of access
Burden of proof should grow heavier as request for access grows more sensitive.
Why compliance matters
Part of my role requires me to ask questions that an auditor might. This is especially true when it comes to compliance, why it matters, and how it makes a difference.

Ralph Lauren Spring 2013
The Ralph Lauren girl likes to travel. The countryside of England, the American Southwest — she frequents those places often, and over the course of several decades, those locales have seeped quite seamlessly into her elegant American sportswear look.
But for Spring 2013, she's headed to new, uncharted territory: Spain and Latin America. And, actually, come to think of it, it's surprising that she hasn't been there before. Ruffles, embroideries, blanket stripes, beads, lace, and fringe — they're all things she's comfortable in. Especially when they come in the form of romantic silhouettes paired with her favorite side-leaning beret.

Freshman guard Aaron Harrison of Texas has had to adjust to the recent frigid weather in Kentucky.
"They didn't tell me about this. You have to bundle up, but it's OK," Harrison said.
Didn't Calipari mention Kentucky's winter weather when he was recruiting him?
"No, no one told me about this, having to wear long johns and stuff like that. But it's fine, it'll be alright," Harrison said.
He said his mother told him it was only 32 degrees recently even in Texas.
"That's really cold for them. But now I really appreciate Texas and summer and stuff like that. I really appreciate summer," he said.

According to the official Minecraft stats page, more than 500,000 of the nearly 1.6 million registered players have already purchased a license for the game, which is still in the alpha phase of development. That's pretty much unprecedented in the history of game development -- certainly indie game development -- and perhaps only comparable to a big-budget marketing effort; one that might secure those kinda pre-release purchase numbers through pre-orders and offer a limited "beta" trial of the game through a highly-controlled channel. So, yeah, Minecraft's "alpha stage" success is unprecedented.
Is it just luck? The one-man mastermind behind it all, Markus Perrson, doesn't think so. "I think originality and easy access is much more important than luck," he told Develop in a recent interview. "If you make a game that's genuinely good, and it's relatively unique, you can get a lot potential customers. If you make sure they don't have to jump through too many loops to play or even pay for the game, you can convert those into actual customers." Currently, almost 60 percent of Minecraft users are playing for free.
The Minecraft way is indeed an original one, but it could serve as a model for future "good" indie games (well, probably better than just plain good). "I wanted to work on games for a living, and I realized that the biggest obstacle to that is that people would have to actually pay for the game," Perrson recalled. "So I decided to just get that out of the way as early as possible." Simple, eh?
"If it's fun, people might be willing to pay for it. I think it's a really interesting model for studios with small budgets, and it also lets you have a much more personal relationship with the players instead of just developing the game behind closed doors for two years, then hoping it's good."
Perrson has already reinvested Minecraft's earnings into starting up a proper studio, dubbed Mojang Specifications, which should speed up the development process -- the gang moves into the office on January 1. He's currently working to get Minecraft's multiplayer mode "fully functioning" and flesh out the main game with an "overarching narrative," as well as add new features to it, like "monster towns" and alchemy. Meanwhile, a "friend" at Mojang will lead development of a second game (though everyone at the studio will have a hand in both projects). When both are complete? Perrson assured that "the plan is to move on to a third game as a team" -- without really changing the plan, right?
"I used to think I would be able to repeat it, but then it started spreading even faster. I doubt I will be able to reproduce the current level of hype, but I will certainly try."

Chaouacha Indians. A small tribe living, when first known, on the east bank of the Mississippi, a short distance below the present New Orleans, Louisiana. Although they had aided the French in their Indian wars, they fell under suspicion after the Natchez war, and in consequence were attacked and a number of the people massacred, in 1730, by Negro slaves acting under orders from the French governor, who had in view the double purpose of weakening the power of the Indians and of over coming any projected combination between them and the Negroes. Subsequently they seem to have removed to the west side of the Mississippi, a little above their former position.

We've cracked the password on the first day you posted lol
I even thought that you might suspect me or flash because we aways lurk around tech support, if we used it.
But you know, what killed us.. 1st day.
Me and yoda wanted to attack adonai, but in the end was sinoel.
De didn't post but one of the "votes" messages.
You know he asked so many times to be pinged, I thought, he got to be hiding something.. ow well.StealDragon you've been pinged! But now we must kill you!!
"Chile is a thin and tall country"
Whoo, I lived! That password working made me nervous, but if it was down to just the two of us as unconfirmed, I knew for SURE I was a townie, irec!
Good game everyone. The stories were excellent, Digi!
I was counting that you wouldn't make back in time T_T spoiled my plan to make you look like a zombie!
There was one chance to win, that was I had to push one double lynch atleast, even if I got really luck..
I remember that the best case scenario would be.. Me X Someone..
Ending in a draw.
"Chile is a thin and tall country"
I can't believe no one called you on the fact that you were expected to kill yourself.
^hahah I had to vote to myself, because since we'd be working with 2 votes.. they would kill me, if someone else voted.. and since me and yoda would be changing votes to kill adonai, he couldn't..
in the end, 3 townies would die + yoda.. and my kill .. that would ensure the victory (that time kaom hadn't come back, so she was afk I could rampage on the city naked!!)
That btw we forgot to do.. My internet went down, and yoda slept =p
"Chile is a thin and tall country"
Oohhh we won eh?

Anyone know who's hosting the next game and when? :/

Despite its seemingly short length of 2,668 yards from the back tees, Minnechaug Golf Course keeps rounds interesting by packing a cornocopia of hazards into a 9-hole layout. Players confront an onslaught of elevation changes, dogleg turns, and trees that won't respond to verbal commands throughout the par 35 course. And the degree of difficultry truly ramps up on the par 3 eighth, which invites players to unsheathe their 9-iron or pitching wedge, take stock of the prevailing winds, and send tee shots flying toward an island green that rests on the other side of a 126-yard water hazard.
A Hartford community staple since it was sculpted around the 1930s, Goodwin Park Golf Course peppers the countryside with 27 holes of various challenges. The main 18-hole, 6,015 yard course weaves among trees and gentle hills, offering three sets of tees for different handicaps, while a shorter 9-hole executive layout lets golfers squeeze in a round before their magic driver turns back into a useless tent pole.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 70 course * Length of 6,015 yards from the farthest tees * Course rating of 68.6 from the farthest tees * Slope rating of 119 from the farthest tees * Three tee options * Scorecard
At Keney Golf Course, players follow an emerald track chiseled into the heavily wooded terrain of the 694-acre Keney Park. Devereaux Emmet and Alfred M. Tull unveiled their course design in 1927, inviting golfers to challenge their skills on the 18-hole, 6,014-yard layout. Along the way, golfers encounter an intersecting stream, dense forest groves, and a cemetery that borders several holes, but none of the quicksand bunkers incorporated by the original architects.
Course at a Glance * 18-hole, par 70 * Total length of 6,014 yards from the back tees * Rating of 68.1 from the back tees * Slope of 115 from the back tees * Three sets of tees
A recreational destination since Devereax Emmet and Alfred M. Tull sculpted it into the East Hartford countryside in 1930, Long Hill Country Club's 18-hole course unfurls 6,014 yards of manicured fairways and greens. Mature trees form a path along the par 70, impeding golf balls that stray to the rough in a short-sighted search for a soft landing. The course features three tee options to appeal to golfers of all abilities.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 70 course * Length of 6,014 yards from the farthest tees * Course rating of 68.1 from the farthest tees * Slope rating of 115 from the farthest tees * Three tee options * Scorecard
When Arnold Palmer's architectural firm set out to design the 18-hole course at Gillette Ridge Golf Club, it incorporated a long, wooded layout that would showcase the 19th-century politician and reformer Francis Gillette's original homestead. Today, the course continues to showcase its beautifully crafted layout that has maintained the elegance of a bygone era while opting to share its charming characteristics with the public. Gillette Ridge welcomes all golfers to take on the blistering 7,191-yard tract that integrates groves of mature trees, placid water hazards, and white-sand bunkers that surround contoured greens.
Much of the course's difficulty comes from its length, as demonstrated on the par 5 seventh and 12th holes, which stretch 612 yards and 607 yards from the tips, respectively. Both holes make it nearly impossible to reach the green in two, though for different reasons: the seventh green prevents run-ups with a front side stream, whereas the 12th hole has an early dogleg right that demands more conservative tee shots and golf carts that are pro-environment. The course's premium on distance continues right through the finishing hole, a par 4, 478-yard straightaway that splits two fairway bunkers and forces players to carry the green's front side pond on their approach shot or hope that a friendly frog will lend a lily pad for safe passage. Three practice putting greens, two practice bunkers, and an all-grass driving range provide ample space for golfers to stretch their swings before rounds.
After rounds, players can unwind in Gillette Ridge's 6,000-square-foot clubhouse, where the course restaurant serves up sandwiches such as the philly cheesesteak and chicken-salad sliders, and starters such as Maryland crab cakes and quesadillas—the late Mrs. Gillette's specialty that has carried on since the 19th century.
Course at a Glance:
18-hole, par 72 course
Total length of 7,191 yards from the back tees
Course rating of 74.8 from the back tees
Course slope of 135 from the back tees
Four sets of tees per hole
Blue Fox Run boasts a stunning 27-hole championship golf course in the Farmington Valley. Use this Groupon to schedule a full-day outing with friends: your 18-hole game allows you to practice your drives, perfect your putts, and conquer your fear of the bogeyman ($35 on weekdays, $45 on weekends). Stroll the green on foot or rent a cart for $15. Ironless chippers can rent a full set of clubs for $25.

Walsall end Wembley wait
Walsall ended their 127-year Wembley wait as they reached the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final following a 0-0 draw with Preston.
The Saddlers, who have never been to Wembley in their history, edged through 2-0 on aggregate after their first-leg win.
Tom Bradshaw had Walsall's best chance in a scrappy game while Sylvan Ebanks-Blake hit the crossbar and Chris Humphrey was denied by Richard O'Donnell for underwhelming Preston.
The final whistle sparked a pitch invasion from the home fans and the Saddlers...

How to Make Sweet Potato Latte recipe
Sweet Potato Latte is soooo tasty!!!!! There is this really good cafe called, "YakiniQ" in Japantown San Francisco and they are the ones that created this drink. They also sell delicious macarons, too! Sweet potatoes have a good amount of fiber and soy milk is high in protein. This drink will definitely make you full after you drink it! Just make sure to use the dark skinned sweet potatoes because they are sweeter.
